1 Alpinist Film Festival Guidelines & Entry Form THE ALPINIST FILM FESTIVAL Mission: The Alpinist Film Festival began to honor Barry Corbet s athletic and artistic spirit with films that celebrate the adventure lifestyle across disciplines and generations. The Film Festival s mission is to advance the art of cinematographic storytelling as we underscore the unity among the adventure lifestyle communities. In addition, a significant portion of the profits from every Festival are donated to charity to foster well-being in the places of our inspiration. SUBMISSION GUIDELINES GENRES There are three sport categories, or genres, that the Alpinist Film Festival is dedicated to: climbing and mountaineering, surfing, and extreme skiing. Media projects and films with a story and/or narrative are especially encouraged to apply, despite the fact they may not fit evenly into one of the three stated genres. All that is asked for is media projects and films that share the mission of the Alpinist Film Festival ENTRY FEES An entry fee of $35 is due for submitting media projects and films to the Alpinist Film Festival. Entry fees are nonrefundable and cannot be waived. Checks are to be made out to: Alpinist Magazine. In the memo please write: Alpinist Film Festival. AWARDS In addition to the People s Choice Award, the Alpinist Film Festival will provide monetary awards to a select number of films, as determined by the jury of the Alpinist Film Festival. The awards are subject to change with each Festival and information on current awards can be found online at: DEADLINE Media projects and films are always welcomed and accepted by the Alpinist Film Festival.
